Hey Everyone,
I'll be reviewing a lipstick today from Street Wear by Revlon New color rich range. I have already shared the swatches of the lipsticks and lipglosses from the new color rich range(click on the link above to see the post). Last week i reviewed a gorgeous shade 6 Party Melon lipgloss from the range, do check it out if you haven't already. Let's zoom in to know more about the shade 28 XoXo:

What Brand says:

Good moisturizer, even if you have dry chapped lips, it's not going to look flaky without a lip balm under it. Does not settle into fine lines. It gives just the right amount of shine to the lips, so you don't need to put on a gloss. Free from Lead, and A

Price:

180/- for 4.2 g

Shelf Life:

36 months

Ingredients:

Not mentioned on pack

My experience with this lipstick:

Packaging:

The lipstick comes housed in this black lipstick, plastic case with a comic girl printed on the cap and shade name given at the bottom. The quality of the plastic used for the lipstick case feels not very good on quality but it locks in properly and the lipstick is available with such inexpensive price tag, so i'll happily ignore this ;) Though on the packaging part i have to say i really liked this cute packaging a lot.

Fragrance:

The lipstick has sweet vanilla fragrance that grabs your attention when you remove the cap from the case as it's quite strong but it fades later on.

Color & Pigmentation:

28 XoXo is a sexy, dark shade which is a mix of fuchsia and berry pink. This shade would be a great pick for coming Autumn/winter season. The lipstick is superb when it comes to pigmentation. The color payoff is good in single swipe itself. This shades delivers medium opaque coverage in single swipe covering any dark pigmentation very well and the color looks just fabulous with one more swipe.

Texture & Finish:

Lipstick has a moisturising formula, so it applies smoothly and evenly on the lips. On the lips, it feels light and moisturising but make sure to exfoliate your lips before application as it does highlight dry, patchy skin. Seen from a distance, it does look matte but the lipstick has a moist matte finish but later.. it transforms to a more matte look after a hour or so

This shade does transfers but not overly though.. specially once the sheen fades, it does not transfer much after that. But i noticed it kind of fades completely from the inner part of the mouth as i eat or drink.

Lasting Stay:

On my lip, this lipstick lasted for about 4 hour after this it faded leaving a pink tint behind. I think for a drugstore lipstick that is as inexpensive as this, the lasting duration is quite impressive.

Cons:

1. The plastic quality is not the best
2. Focuses dry, patchy lips
3. Transfers
4. Leaves a slight tint behind
5. List of ingredients is not mentioned

Overall Rate:

3.9/5

Verdict: Street Wear by Revlon, new color rich collection is very impressive be it in terms of variety, range, packaging or price. The ultra moist lipstick 28 XoXo is a hot, fuchsia and Berry pink mix shade which is well pigmented, 4 hour of lasting duration. This would be a great pick for coming Autumn/winters. I love this kind of shades in autumn/winters specially for a night/evening look. XoXo is a beautiful shade from the range, it's a creme matte formula and have a light weight feel. The quality of the lipstick and the color pay off is really nice though i am disappointed that the ingredients list is missing on the pack.. i don't expect this from a brand like Revlon to be that ignorant about this. Else it's a pretty shade from the lipstick range and it's super easy on pocket :)

Let me know what do you think of this..have you tried this range yet? What are your favorite shades..Do share :)
